Naruto's Endless Pretense

After agreeing to the Third Generation's persuasion to Tsunade, Sasuke did not act immediately.He still has some things to deal with.

We can't let go of things at Konoha Hospital.The wounded in the battle have not yet fully recovered. In order to maintain the trust of the daimyo in Konoha, even ninjas like Iruka have to be sent out to perform tasks.For a time, the casualty rate in the mission increased a lot, and Sasuke, as a particularly powerful medical ninja, couldn't get away at all.

Furthermore, Sasuke also needs to re-create a suitable weapon.The black sword was chopped into two pieces by White Fang. Although it was a pity, there was nothing that could be done about it.Currently, only Jiraiya's short sword can be used freely.As for Thunder Blade Tooth, Sasuke no longer had any expectations.

Because Sasuke's swordsmanship absorbed the experience of Sasaki Kojiro, he was completely biased towards the one-sword style evil swordsmanship.The two-sword style that I used before was just a short sword at the right time. Now if I want to master the two-sword style that I have never touched before, I will only waste time and reduce my strength.

So Sasuke handed over the thunder sword to the craftsmen who came from the Land of Iron to support the construction to see if they could work together to create a 1.5-meter long sword like the "Monokan-zhan".Anyway, it was just a ninja sword, not even a divine weapon, so the guy named Kazuo agreed to give it a try.

There are also Hyuga Neji's caged bird, Xiang Rin's household registration and residence, and Sakura's medical ninjutsu teaching.If you really want to do it, trivial things or important things will appear one after another.

Life is like this, full of unknown things. Not everyone can pay attention to the extraordinary in the ordinary.That's why people chase the distant place all the way, accompanied only by the thoughts that they can't bear to give up.

Life is like this. If you can't find the lighthouse, you will easily be swallowed up by the huge waves of ordinary life.Therefore, everything that can move people is great.

Every day without an answer, time passes like this.

After more than a week, Sasuke finally ended his busy life.That day, Team [-] had a gathering at their usual meatball shop to celebrate Sasuke's successful promotion to chuunin.

In the original book, Sasuke didn't like sweets, but now Sasuke still likes them.After all, he still has a homely heart.

"Ah ah ah, why is it that only Sasuke is promoted to Chunin? I am obviously very strong too."

The results of the Chunin Examination were quickly approved under the Third Generation's control, and Shikamaru and Sasuke became Chunin without objection.Naruto looked longingly at the chuunin vest that Sasuke was holding in his hand, feeling both happy and jealous in his heart.It didn't matter whether others thought he was a chuunin or not, he just didn't want to lose to Sasuke.

"This is a matter decided unanimously by the top management. It's useless no matter how dissatisfied you are." Kakashi comforted Naruto as he touched his head.

"And even if Naruto, your strength has reached the standard of a chuunin, your IQ is not enough to serve as a chunin as a squad leader."

"Kakashi-sensei!"

Sasuke looked at Naruto arguing with Kakashi and smiled helplessly.This is Naruto, he is eager to win and refuses to admit defeat, but he doesn't know how to get into trouble.

"Sakura, you look weird, what happened?"

Normally, no matter when Naruto quarreled with someone or made a mistake, Sakura would play the role of a housekeeper and educate Naruto, or she would laugh next to him like herself.Today, Sakura just sat lonely and said nothing, which made Sasuke very strange.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired from helping out in the hospital these days."

Sakura immediately put on a smile when she heard Sasuke's question.But in Sasuke's opinion, the smile was very forced, and it was obvious that something was wrong, but Sakura didn't want to worry herself.

"What the hell happened?"

Sasuke couldn't help but miss the time when Team [-] was first formed.Although the mission was boring, Naruto was noisy, and he was under a lot of pressure, it was still easy to guess what the two brats were thinking.Now that they have grown up one by one, it has become more troublesome.

Just when Kakashi was teasing and Sasuke was feeling emotional, two people wearing windbreakers embroidered with several red clouds and hats with wind chimes on their heads walked past the entrance of the meatball shop.One is tall and one is short, and the tall one is carrying something rolled up in a bandage on his back.

“Akatsuki’s people… shouldn’t be.

"

The image of the water and fire duo immediately appeared in Sasuke's mind.But it didn't feel right when I thought about it. Itachi rushed to Konoha in a hurry to warn the top management of Konoha.Now that the third generation is still alive, there is no need for Itachi to come back.

No matter what, let’s catch up and take a look first.

Sasuke and Kakashi exchanged glances, threw the green vest in their hands to Naruto, and walked out of the meatball shop.

"Naruto, don't you want this vest? I'll give this to you."

"Sasuke..."

Just as Naruto was about to say something, Kakashi also stood up.

"Sorry, that's it for today. I suddenly remembered that I still have something to report to Mr. Hokage, so I need to take a step first."

"In that case, I'll go back first." Sakura, who was obviously worried, also walked out of the store.

"Hello..."

After a burst of smoke rose, Naruto found that he was the only one left in the store, and couldn't help but look outside the store in confusion and pain.

"You haven't paid yet..."

Beside the flowing water of the small bridge, Sasuke and Kakashi were leaning on the railing, and two people in black and red cloud robes stood opposite.

"You two, please stop here."

Kakashi flicked his wrist and inserted a kunai in front of the Akatsuki member's feet.The shorter man took off his hat and hung his left arm on his windbreaker.With a pair of Sharingan eyes and two lines of tear troughs, it was none other than Itachi Uchiha.

"Kakashi, it's been such a long time."

"I didn't expect it to be you, Itachi Uchiha."

Kakashi's eyes changed, and the previous lazy look disappeared. He pushed up the forehead protector covering his left eye and entered a state of alert.

"Looks like he's an old acquaintance of yours, Itachi. Let me introduce myself too."

Just as Kisame was about to take off his bamboo hat, a sword energy struck him in the face.He didn't have time to dodge, and the sword qi rubbed his scalp and split the bamboo hat into two halves.

"Don't be so hasty to take action, you little brat who looks like Itachi."

"Kakisaki Kisame, you have nothing to do here, don't be an eyesore here. The same goes for you Kakashi, your Sharingan will only be a burden when facing him."

Kisame looked at Sasuke's 1.5-meter-long knife pointed directly at the tip of his nose, and grinned, revealing shark-like teeth.He quickly untied Samehada and pointed at Sasuke's face.

"Humph, what an unpleasant brat. Is he your brother with the same Sharingan?"

"Stop it Kisame, don't forget our mission."

As he spoke, Itachi looked at Sasuke again, his eyes cold and emotionless.

"Sasuke, you've grown taller."

Sasuke covered his face with one hand and looked at Uchiha Itachi, slowly sheathing the long sword in his hand.

"What is your purpose? You can't come here to find me, right?"

Uchiha slowly took out a kunai from his sleeve with his right hand. Sasuke immediately clasped his hands together when he saw this.The next moment, four water columns suddenly spurted out from the river on both sides of the bridge and pounced on Sasuke and Kakashi, but they gradually condensed into ice from the top of the water columns and floated on the river.

"The sealing speed is so fast that even these eyes can't see clearly. It seems to be difficult to handle."

Sasuke's two Sharingan eyes moved slowly, not daring to miss any of Itachi's movements.From the moment of confrontation, Sasuke discovered that Itachi had some deviations from the original work.Maybe it was because he knew his role in Konoha's collapse plan, or maybe he saw the power he showed when he attacked Kisame.

In short, Itachi may not let himself go like in the original work.

"Although he is still stupid, he has grown somewhat."

Itachi took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

"My brother, let me show you how big the gap is between you and me."
